@astharai1
I manage global commercial contracts and IP advisory for SaaS, retail, and startup clients.
What I'm looking for
At Elevate, I process SaaS agreements, MSAs, DPAs, NDAs, SOWs, and vendor contracts across EMEA, APAC, and US portfolios, maintaining 99–99.5% abstraction accuracy. I manage end-to-end workflows in Ironclad, Agiloft, and Conga and identify risk flags that helped reduce unreviewed backlog by 25%.
Through my independent legal advisory practice, I advise fashion, retail, e-commerce, and lifestyle startups on IP protection, commercial contracts, trademark strategy, and regulatory compliance. I have built international trademark and anti-counterfeiting frameworks, supported Madrid Protocol registrations, and delivered launch-ready consumer documentation aligned with India’s DPDPA and consumer protection regulations.
I also bring transactional drafting, negotiation, legal research, and team supervision experience from Wildlife SOS and Friendicoes SECA, where I supported compliance, litigation, and internal content-review processes.
